The best restaurants in South East

25/05/2021: Shared the Falafel and Kabsa meal with my mum and the food was delicious

19/05/2021: This place is exceptional! We had amazing food and the staff are some of the nicest people we’ve encountered. I needed something slightly off-menu when we visited with two tired, hungry, young kids and they accommodated us enthusiastically and then made my husband and I the best lamb and chicken wraps I think I’ve ever had!! Beyond this, they are incredibly reasonably priced. Seriously, do yourself a favour and visit this place!

24/05/2021: I came down to Maidstone from London to visit a friend and we decided to have vegan afternoon tea which was only £14.99 each! It was definitely worth the trip! I was a bit worried as sometimes vegan options can be a bit hit or miss but this was all great! I especially loved the sandwiches, the vanilla lavender cake and I liked the scones too. Only thing I would have preferred was a different whipped cream, like Elmea plant based double cream for the scones, but it wasn’t a big deal and we definitely got GREAT value for money. My friend wasn’t a huge fan of the scones but she’s not vegan so maybe didn’t like the difference. I loved them though, could have had another haha. The people who served us were also really lovely and accommodating! If I’m ever in Maidstone again, I’ll definitely head over and get some more vegan treats, they had so many options. I’d definitely recommend visiting ☺️.

12/05/2021: The coffee is excellent (roasted locally) and the vegan cakes were superb (my wife is allergic to egg so doesn’t get to have cake very often). The staff are friendly and attentive, supplying us blankets when the sun went in. All in all this place is highly recommended.

09/05/2021: Good place to stop for a coffee and some lovely cakes. Friendly team, very popular with the local cycling community.

10/04/2021: Love this place! Great coffee, cakes and service 👌

18/06/2021: One of the best kebabs I ever had specially their Garlic dip is to die for!! I have been taking away for a long time, their taste never disappoints, always consistent and great service too. Amazing bunch of lads, highly recommended!! Best Turkish around!! Richard :)

16/06/2021: Nice fresh well cooked meat, very nice owner who take pride in their work and shop

13/06/2021: Lovely tea room was a great afternoon I would recommend this place one thing I would love is if they would do a larger cream tea ie two scones for the bigger eaters and adjust the price of course.

09/05/2021: Lovely garden, good menu and friendly staff. The Welsh Rarebit and Flapjack were both excellent.

19/04/2021: Fabulous quality and lovely staff

24/03/2021: A bit expensive but the service is good.

24/05/2021: Great beer, really good and interesting pizza, friendly staff

16/05/2021: Great place to eat, drink & be merry!!!

04/06/2021: My husband and I had one of the best meals out for years at Tim’s Bistro!!!! The menu has a lot of fresh fish/seafood which is our favourite but also has other great options!! Can’t wait to go back and there are so many dishes we want to try.

17/05/2021: We have been sooooo patient, to eat out under cover ! We chose Tim's Bistro to have scrambled eggs , bacon & toast & I had cappuccino, it was well worth waiting for. Our very first meal very pleased, can thoroughly recommend this bistro .

01/06/2021: Never disappointed. A local gem.

24/05/2021: A bit overpriced but the food and service is really good.

06/05/2021: A wonderful, independent coffee shop!

24/04/2021: The latte is delicious 😋 but such a small size for £3.20.

21/04/2021: very good friendly servive and friendly staff. quick turnaround of order. covid 19 health and safety 100 per cent. well done everyone

03/04/2021: Always going there when in Brighton. Great tasting coffee and food.

06/06/2021: First experience of Nepalese food. Interesting starter platter with an emphasis on potato dishes. We shared curry , chow mein and dumplings for main course reflecting the fusion of Indian and Chinese styles . Enjoyable but we were hoping for some more distinctive flavours. Friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Very reasonable prices.

01/06/2021: As soon as we arrived for our booking, the staff were very nice and helpful, including walking us through the menu and helping us choose our order. We went for the mixed starter for 2 (with pork sukuti, aloo nimki, pani puri, and pyagi) then a fried chickem momo and a beef chilli momo.Everything was beyond delicious, the flavours beautifully balanced, both light yet intense. We were asked about the level of heat we wanted, meaning we could enjoy everything. The waiter also took the time to show us how to prepare and eat the pani puri, adding a bit of theatricality to the meal. The lassi were also very good, particularly the sweet one. Unfortunately, even with the waiter's advice, we ordered waaaaay too much food! Thankfully, the staff was happy to put the leftovers in takeaway boxes for us to take home. At the end of all this, we were very pleasantly surprised to see the bill, quite low for the amount and quality of food!The only slight negative of the whole experience was the wait time; it took quite a while before food arrived. However, we could see it was a small staff team and that they were continuously running back and forth so we were happy to wait. Plus, the food was worth waiting for!

08/06/2021: Prompt service, cracking chips! 🙂

01/06/2021: Delicious chippy, friendly service

25/05/2021: We stumbled upon this restaurant when a hotel we were staying at locally had a rubbish restaurant. So we looked on TripAdvisor for inspiration & we found these guys.We haven’t had Nepalese food before and although they offer other Asian cuisine options, we were keen to sample the Nepalese.The waitress was kind & patient, talking us through the options. Her recommendations were fantastic, as everything was delicious! She made us feel so welcomed, we really enjoyed our experience. Fast forward to May 2021, after a long lockdown period, we were longing for this tasty food again. So we booked into a better hotel & came back.The staff were so friendly again & the food was like a taste explosion with every bite. My eyes were bigger than my belly & I was frustrated I couldn’t finish off my main!! I wish they had a restaurant closer to where we lived as we’d visit all the time. Thank you for another amazing dinner…we’ll definitely be back again!!

23/05/2021: Excellent. Superb food. Wonderful cocktails. Efficient friendly staff. Must go to place.

17/04/2021: We visited for lunch with kids as we were taking a woodland walk nearby. Outside seating was spacious, covid safe but still had a great atmosphere.. good parking for free and clean toilets. All covid precautions were met by staff and visitors. Food was amazing and they changed the kid order to suit a fussy 4 year old. Price was good for quality .. foodies will appreciate the rustic bread, quality meat and overall presentation. Cakes were really good quality .. we had the chocolate cake and lemon cake and a chocolate and banana cupcake.. all great. Coffee was fantastic. All biodegradable cups, wooden cutlery and cardboard trays. Really enjoyed with the family and the woodland walk was beautiful

16/04/2021: This is a cycling cafe, fantastic coffee delicious cakes
